Hi guys,
I have purchased a new fabric soft top that has the glass rear demister window.
After some research what other people have got and used here on the forums I went with a top from a place called PAMZHOUZE in the USA.
I have managed to get the top installed and it is mostly good but i have two issues.
The first is that i have no idea how the where the bottom fabric/pouch/velcro parts need to go.
I know it has to crimp into the front section of the bar somehow but i cant get it in their nicely.
This is a photo of what I mean:
I also have an issue where one of the back corners is not totally tight and has bit of a wave to it.
Does anyone know if this can be adjusted or this something wrong with the top and something i have to live with?
Any help on this will be much appreciated
Cheers,
Dale

Re: NB soft top installation issues
The first bit the flap. When i did mine i looped it up around the forward metl hoop and used double sided tape to hold it. So far its been alright and itsbeen a year or so.
The second bit did you replace the tensioner wires when you did the roof?
I didnt and have a similar slack bit i always assumed it was due to this.

Re: NB soft top installation issues
So I guess with the fabric bits inside it is best practice, do the best you can... I'll have to just do my best.
As for the tension cables, I have used brand new ones.
I have emailed the guy I got it off twice now, both times he hasnt bothered to get back to me
